Yes, it is a chemo drug.

I never touch the capsule. I slide out a capsule onto another lid. You need to take with a full glass of water. I squish some of the water around my mouth first and then slide capsule into my mouth and drink the rest of the water.

To avoid the toxic effect you should drink minimum of 64 ounces of fluid daily.

Thank you for your reply. That's helpful information. I have been taking a full glass of water with the capsule while wearing plastic gloves. But I will start drinking the full 64 oz. today.
